Description

Computer

The ML-G10 is the first MSX2 computer released in Japan by Mitsubishi. It's a machine without any drive and with only 64Kb RAM.

This computer has been adapted for the Spanish market - see ML-G1. However, the additional interface was not released outside Japan.

Firmware

The firmware is launched automatically when you boot the machine. Bypassing this software on startup requires the user to press the DEL key during boot until a Beep sound. You need also to press this key when a memory extension is inserted in this machine.

The built-in software is a graphic application in screen 7. Its name is 'Hot Paper". Some features are only working with the optional ML-85AV interface.
